Jermaine Shephard from Clinton should definitely be on this least. He was Nate Robinson before Nate Robinson was. This guy was well under 6 feet tall and could easily drop 30 points and excite the crowd with electrifying dunks. One of the greatest 2 sport athletes this state has ever seen.

 

Halston Lane from Oak Ridge was a top notch player as well. He signed and played for Georgia Tech out of high school before transferring to a smaller venue.

 

Travis Williams from Oliver Springs was a great PG. Scored over 2,000 career points and led a team from the AA cellar to back-to-back state tournaments.

Not sure if you guys remember Eric Howard from Giles County, but I know we do. One of the fastest pgs ever, and he was one of the main reasons Tyler was the player he was back then. He hit the second biggest shot for GC to win the State Championship, the first being Fletch's half court miracle to beat Bolivar, which if I remember had a couple of these players on it then. Eric Howard the real weezie.

I cant believe that Tony Delk from Haywood Co. and Cannon Whitby from Obion Central were left out of everyone's list. And, I really cant believe that nobody has mentioned Penny Hardaway from Memphis Treadwell! Also, what about Bobby Parks from Middleton? Wow, what a basketball player. And, from long, long ago, Bailey Howell from Middleton, who went on to play for Miss. St. and played in the NBA. Also, a Reaves fella from Bolivar was tough. He also went on to play in the NBA.

 

Also, back when I was in high school, Bolivar had two fellas that could play ball with anyone...Elvis Mitchell and Jose Crisp. Elvis was a shooting machine, and Jose was a 6'8" bruiser, who led the nation in rebounding at Tenn. St.

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
